These fish, when cooked, give a GREAT 10 stam buff. This is a great asset for tanking lower level instances, and even for warlocks needing a buff as well. While everyone rages over the sagefish, this is the equivalent for melee classes.

Best place to fish is in Azhera, but the docks in Tanaris are good, and the cook that teaches the yellowfin is there as well. To learn to cook mightfish, you need to go to Booty Bay.

Maybe pure chance but I caught this a lot faster right off the dock near Gadgetzan than I did further out in the new bay. I fished at least 40 times further east, then went back to the dock at Gadgetzan and caught it on about the second cast. So just for convenience sake, just fish off the dock there.

Took slightly longer then anticipated to catch for the oceanographer achievement (for what I thought would be a common fish) but as a guide recomended, it can be caught in the cape of stranglethorn - which is the closest place possible for alliance stationed at stormwind.

I was fishing in Azshara going for various fish for the Oceanographer achievement, and managed to get a Glossy Mightfish on the 6th cast. Was surprised, considering other fishing attempts based on comments indicated that it was difficult to get here.

After catching the Raw Summer Bass in Azshara on the 6th cast, I went to Tanaris and fished off the end of the dock outside of Gadgetzan for the Glossy Mightfish. My first cast I got another Raw Summer Bass and then 5 cast later I caught the Glossy Mightfish. Was my lucky night. I would suggest just fishing off this dock for these fish before heading to Azshara.

I literally landed in Gadgetzan and got one my first try with only an item lvl 50 pole, no lure and a 311 fishing skill. I must be pretty lucky. Oh and I was standing on the dock.

I can confirm that you can catch these in Eastern Plaguelands. I found them at the dock on the shore in the Ruins of the Scarlet Enclave. Coordinates are 96,87 which is at the lower right-hand corner (almost off of the map).

I also fished up lots of Raw Spotted Yellowtail plus a few Summer Bass, Stonescale Eel, Big-Mouth Clam and Firefin Snapper.

Fished mine up off the dock in Gadgetzan.

525 skill level + 30 with Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole

After 55 casts I had 23 Raw Spotted Yellowtail, 8 Big-Mouth Clam, 7 Firefin Snapper, 7 Raw Summer Bass, 6 Raw Rockscale Cod, 2 Heavy Crates, 1 Ironbound Locked Chest, and 1 Stonescale Eel. I then decided to use one of my old Glow Worms (+100 fishing skill) I had laying around in my bank, and caught 1 Raw Glossy Mightfish on the first cast after attaching the lure. Not sure if it was luck or the increase to my fishing skill, but I thought it was at least worth mentioning.

Followed the east coast of Hinterlands up till the zone name was listed as Forbidding Sea above my minimap.

Fished in Tanaris for almost an hour and nothing...went the coordinates that were listed by dalyah and used my jeweled fishing pole i am maxed at fishing plus +100 hook. caught it on the 3rd cast :)

Comment by Purloiner

Just to Update for Badlands,

Date 12/25/2011It can still be caught there, so don't give up I almost did after 125 catches but I got it around 130. I wouldn't leave and head all the way to Tanaris since I suspect drop rate for each place is the same.

Comment by ButaDujo

Fished up quite a few of these in a very short time on Jaguero Isle, along with Spotted Yellowtail and Winter Squid.

Comment by arthas28zp

Interesting note: I started to catch more of these, along with Stonescale Eels as soon as I applied a feathered lure (+100 fishing skill) to give me 660 effective fishing skill. I had caught 0 Stonescale and only 1 Glossy Mightfish with only 635 effective skill, so maxing out your skill as much as possible apparently affects your chance to catch the low % fish. I was fishing in the open water off the dock at Gadgetzan.

Comment by Dushara66

Just caught one in the cape of stranglethorn, just of the coast of jaguero island! At the first cast to... (65,76) :)

Comment by Dimenz

So i was fishing for the The Oceanographer and i was fishing around Gadgetzan to get the Glossy Might Fish. I didnt catch it, so i moved onto the dock behind Gadgetzan and the first cast i did on the dock was the Glossy Mightfish. Fish on the dock, better chance at chatching the fish.Good Luck!

Comment by Kruilty

I was under 400 fishing skill level and caught a few. It's just a low % fish.

popped a water walking elixir and fished in open water off lost rigger cove. took maybe 10 or so casts to catch one.

Comment by Taellis

If you are trying to fish for this in EPL, the dock at the Ruins of the Scarlet Enclave works, but make sure that you aren't in the forbidding sea zone. It helps to actually stand on the dock and not just near it. I wondered why it was taking so long!

Comment by Ihlen

Gadgetzan, Tanaris. Boat at 63,29 - fourth cast. Threw about 30 casts at the Gadgetzan dock with no luck, but moved out a bit to the boats, and bam! Got it! :)

Comment by shmally

After trying in Stranglethorn (northern and cape), Thousand Needles (inland and coastal) - went down to Tanaris - a little bit of earth you can stand on at roughtly (67, 31.4).

5th cast - (1st was Firefin Snapper, 2nd/3rd Raw Summer Bass, 4th Big-Mouth Clam) - not saying it wasn't rng luck - but the mix seems to be different than other places I had recently fished. Cheers.
